    I assume you have a hard drive install, possibly a Knoppix type install(a Debian install would not create a knoppix user). I would create a new user before deleating knoppix user. Compare them to see whats different. To be honest,I dont know what will happen if you delete knoppix user...back-up anything important.

    If you are an expert, it can be done - see previous corespondence. If you are a neophyte, you are likely to experience terminal (not console) problems requiring a re-install.
